Russia's Insidious But Certain Advances Toward the British Indian Frontier A Cmil Reason for the Temporising Attitude of Turkey In theAnRlo-Esyp-tlan Matter Russia's Hand Asain. Loxdox, June 27. Mr. Charles Marvin, author of that striking work, "The Russians at the Gates of Herat," and the best-informed man in England in regard to Russian nffairs, has never ceased since the publication of his great work two years ago to direct the attention of the thoughtful to tho dangors threatening Great Britain's empire in tho East. He has been in Cassandria uttering doleful prophecies, which fell upon dull cars, and even aroused resentment but which, if present, indications ar.? to be trusted, are now being fulfilled. Mr. Marvin in an nrsicle just published, reviews his consistent warnings and shows how every step taken by Russia in pushing her empire eastward, has bsen in re alization of his prediction. Russiastands to-day as England's northern neighbor along a poorly protected boundary line ot twelve hundred miles, which, as the nurse in ' The Pirates" sings, "would na' been," if the common-senso policy suggested by Mr. Mi'rvi'i bad been adopted. Russia could l.ave easily been checked by any one of a dozen counter-movements on En-trlaturs nart a few years ago, which are now difficult, if not impracticable Tho vast shipments just announced of arms and ammunitions cast from the Caspian over the long stretch of Russian railroad through Turkistan to Merv have, however, proved alarming enough to nt last open the eyes of that large c'ass of Britishers who never believe any tliin? until they see it. Therefore, most of Russia's movements in connection with her enormous acquirements of territory north of India have beoa conducted in secret. Only those who, like Marvin. h:ivi made a special study of Russian methods, havo been vigilant enough to detect these concealed steps toward agtrraudizoment, and to fully appreciate their dangerous significance. The open shipment on a largo scale rf munitions of war now indicate that the i'7. .r's government considers its new conquests so firmly established that con-calnient f its movements are no longer necessary. An openly aeffrcssivo policy, in Mr. Marvin's opinion has now begun. What thi means to the British Empire is perhnps best appreciated by those who are familiar with the attitule of Lord Dufferin, Viceroy of India. This most able of English diplomats has frequently appealed to tho home government lo avert the disaster which he has seen approaching. It is to be feared that while Lord Salisbury is yet struggling with tho doubtful task of forcing coercion upon Ireland, the 'brightest jewel in the crown" of En eland will have been placed hi irredeemable danger by his absolute disregard of foreign complications. sua now ou srnsTxcE. Loniiox. June 28. The temporizing attitude of Turkey in the matter of signing tho Anglo-TurKish treaty, in the nesotia- tion of which the Sultan's ropresentii' tives displayed so much ardor and enthusiasm, is the uppermost topic of discus sion in polit ical circles, and among tho general public as welt The be'.ief is now gaining ground, receiving confirmatory impetus from constant accessions of in formation, offi.-ial and unofficial, but equally trust worthv, that France is act ing in the rff iir simply as a catspaw for Russia. Ro:l'v Franco's interests in Egvpt are greater than those of Russia, li t. Russia's interests in Bulgaria md India are more vital than those of France, and from France's association with her in protesting against England's im plied control over the land of the Pharonhs. Russia expcts to secure a formidable allv in the prosecution of her Asiatic schemes and Balkan intrigues. Thus the combined opposition of those two powers to the Egyptian treaty may be regarded not so much a protest against the status oJ Eiypt, which the treaty provides for, as the initiation of a policy of coercion on the part of Russia ngiinst England in Tndii. That this view of the situation has lorced itself upon the Government is now quite obvious, from tho fact that Lord Salisbury he'd a prolonged confer ence with Sir Evelyn Baring, British diplomatic agent in Egypt yesterday, resulting in eliciting from the Premier expressions of opinion almost identical with the foregoing. Lord Balisbury doubts the sincerity of France, but Is convinced of the futility of her adopting any course other than tho one she has taken. owing to tho fact . that France's isolation from the continental Powers has made Russia's friendship necessary to her, and the knowledgo that it can bs acquired and maintained only through concerted ac tion in matters suggested and conducted bv Russia. It is, therefore, apparentthat Lord Salisbury ses nothing to bs gained by insisting upon the ratification of the treaty, and would rather than not, as matters have shaped themselves, see Sir Henrv Prummnnd Wo'fTs mission turn out a failure. The Egyptian matter can wait but the question of Russia's su premacy on tho Afghan frontier will ad mit of no delay in settlement; neither can Engl 'in I afford to j-iaco herself in a position offering to Russia the slightest pretext for aggression or retaliation, nor can she just now allow tho Sultan to get into trouble which England would have to help him out of. England has, in her history, gained a great many substantial victories by the exercise of patience, a virtue of which she possesses an abun dance, and she can more profitably leave tho Egyptian question for future decision while prosecuting the settlement of more vital matters, th:m to commit the blunder of insisting upon the possession of the Egyptian shadow, the Indian substance meanwhile drifting into the hands of her enemy. In consideration of this view of the situation, it would not be rash to predict that the Sultan's signature will not be appended to the treaty for a long time to come. WILL RATIFT TnE TREATY. Loxdox, June 18.

REVERSING THINGS. The Secretary of the Interior Seta Aside a Cnlfonn Fraotlee or the Department If Those Interested Don't Like It They Can Try the Supreme Court. Washixotox, June 29. Secretary Lamar : csterday, in an exceedingly long and exhaustive decision, declined to certify to tho Treasury Department for payment the account of the State of Kansas for five per cent, of th 5 proceeds of the sale of certain Indian lands. ' The amount involved is $113. 7W). In arriving at this conclusion, the secretary review the legislation on the subject, from the time Alabama was admitted into the Union in 18:9, to the present time. After citing numerous decisions by Commissioners of the General Land Office and Secretaries of the Interior in support of the position taken by Kansas in support of her claim, and after stating that similar claims have been allowed Kansas by the Interior Department derived from the same source, he says he must decline to allow it, as, in his judgment, tho act admitting Kansas as a Stale does not warrant tho construction put upon it. In support of his position. Secretary Lamar cites two derisions of the Supreme Court, one in regard to the State of Illinois and the other affecting the State of Iowa. Both rases, he claims, were analagous to the present one, and sustain him fully. In the opinion of the court it said : 'W hen each of these acts speaks of lands "sold by Congress,' 'five per cent, of the proceeds' of which shall be reserved, and be 'disbursed' or "appropriated for the benefit of the State in which tho land lies, it evidently has in view sales in the ordinary sense, from which the United States receives proceeds in the shape of money payable into the treasury, out of which the Ave per cent, may be reserved and paid to the State; and docs not intend to include lands promised anil granted by the United States as a reward for military service for which nothing is received into the treasury. The question depends upon the terms in which the compact between the United States and each State is represented, and not upon any supposed equity, extending those terms to cases not fairly embraced within their meaning." Secretary Lamar concludes as follows: "In arriving at the conclusion before stated, I am relieved to. know that, if the agents of the State of Kansas are not satisfied of its correctness, they can follow the example of the agents of the States of Iowa and Illinois in the ten per cent cases and apply for a mandamus. By this means the questions involved will, by an almost summary method, be brought before the Suprem? Court of tho United States, the highest tribunal in the land, and to whose decree all will bow with cheerful acquiesence. Bat until such authoritative construction of the law In their favor, I must decline to approve of this claim as advised." This action of Secretary Lamar reverses the noiform practice of the Interior Department prevalent since its formation. The decision is far-reaching in its character, and will affect nearly all the other Western 8tates. Narrow EUcapes from Death. Nbw York, June S3.

Russia's Insidious But Certain Advances Toward the British Indian Frontier A Cmil Reason for the Temporising Attitude of Turkey In theAnRlo-Esyp-tlan Matter Russia's Hand Asain. Loxdox, June 27. Mr. Charles Marvin, author of that striking work, "The Russians at the Gates of Herat," and the best-informed man in England in regard to Russian nffairs, has never ceased since the publication of his great work two years ago to direct the attention of the thoughtful to tho dangors threatening Great Britain's empire in tho East. He has been in Cassandria uttering doleful prophecies, which fell upon dull cars, and even aroused resentment but which, if present, indications ar.? to be trusted, are now being fulfilled. Mr. Marvin in an nrsicle just published, reviews his consistent warnings and shows how every step taken by Russia in pushing her empire eastward, has bsen in re alization of his prediction. Russiastands to-day as England's northern neighbor along a poorly protected boundary line ot twelve hundred miles, which, as the nurse in ' The Pirates" sings, "would na' been," if the common-senso policy suggested by Mr. Mi'rvi'i bad been adopted. Russia could l.ave easily been checked by any one of a dozen counter-movements on En-trlaturs nart a few years ago, which are now difficult, if not impracticable Tho vast shipments just announced of arms and ammunitions cast from the Caspian over the long stretch of Russian railroad through Turkistan to Merv have, however, proved alarming enough to nt last open the eyes of that large c'ass of Britishers who never believe any tliin? until they see it. Therefore, most of Russia's movements in connection with her enormous acquirements of territory north of India have beoa conducted in secret. Only those who, like Marvin. h:ivi made a special study of Russian methods, havo been vigilant enough to detect these concealed steps toward agtrraudizoment, and to fully appreciate their dangerous significance. The open shipment on a largo scale rf munitions of war now indicate that the i'7. .r's government considers its new conquests so firmly established that con-calnient f its movements are no longer necessary. An openly aeffrcssivo policy, in Mr. Marvin's opinion has now begun. What thi means to the British Empire is perhnps best appreciated by those who are familiar with the attitule of Lord Dufferin, Viceroy of India. This most able of English diplomats has frequently appealed to tho home government lo avert the disaster which he has seen approaching. It is to be feared that while Lord Salisbury is yet struggling with tho doubtful task of forcing coercion upon Ireland, the 'brightest jewel in the crown" of En eland will have been placed hi irredeemable danger by his absolute disregard of foreign complications. sua now ou srnsTxcE. Loniiox. June 28. The temporizing attitude of Turkey in the matter of signing tho Anglo-TurKish treaty, in the nesotia- tion of which the Sultan's ropresentii' tives displayed so much ardor and enthusiasm, is the uppermost topic of discus sion in polit ical circles, and among tho general public as welt The be'.ief is now gaining ground, receiving confirmatory impetus from constant accessions of in formation, offi.-ial and unofficial, but equally trust worthv, that France is act ing in the rff iir simply as a catspaw for Russia. Ro:l'v Franco's interests in Egvpt are greater than those of Russia, li t. Russia's interests in Bulgaria md India are more vital than those of France, and from France's association with her in protesting against England's im plied control over the land of the Pharonhs. Russia expcts to secure a formidable allv in the prosecution of her Asiatic schemes and Balkan intrigues. Thus the combined opposition of those two powers to the Egyptian treaty may be regarded not so much a protest against the status oJ Eiypt, which the treaty provides for, as the initiation of a policy of coercion on the part of Russia ngiinst England in Tndii. That this view of the situation has lorced itself upon the Government is now quite obvious, from tho fact that Lord Salisbury he'd a prolonged confer ence with Sir Evelyn Baring, British diplomatic agent in Egypt yesterday, resulting in eliciting from the Premier expressions of opinion almost identical with the foregoing. Lord Balisbury doubts the sincerity of France, but Is convinced of the futility of her adopting any course other than tho one she has taken. owing to tho fact . that France's isolation from the continental Powers has made Russia's friendship necessary to her, and the knowledgo that it can bs acquired and maintained only through concerted ac tion in matters suggested and conducted bv Russia. It is, therefore, apparentthat Lord Salisbury ses nothing to bs gained by insisting upon the ratification of the treaty, and would rather than not, as matters have shaped themselves, see Sir Henrv Prummnnd Wo'fTs mission turn out a failure. The Egyptian matter can wait but the question of Russia's su premacy on tho Afghan frontier will ad mit of no delay in settlement; neither can Engl 'in I afford to j-iaco herself in a position offering to Russia the slightest pretext for aggression or retaliation, nor can she just now allow tho Sultan to get into trouble which England would have to help him out of. England has, in her history, gained a great many substantial victories by the exercise of patience, a virtue of which she possesses an abun dance, and she can more profitably leave tho Egyptian question for future decision while prosecuting the settlement of more vital matters, th:m to commit the blunder of insisting upon the possession of the Egyptian shadow, the Indian substance meanwhile drifting into the hands of her enemy. In consideration of this view of the situation, it would not be rash to predict that the Sultan's signature will not be appended to the treaty for a long time to come. WILL RATIFT TnE TREATY. Loxdox, June 18. The Standard1 1 Paris correspondent asserts that the Sultan of of Turkey will ratify the Egyptian treaty after its phraseology has been slightly modified, not changing the sub stance, however, in order to avoid giving offense to tho Moslem feeling. MTST DECLARE PREXOII DOMICILE. Paris, June 23. The committee ap pointed by the Chamber of Deputies to examine the position of foreigners in France, after healing the views of M. Flourens, Minister of Foreign Affairs, re jected the proposal to tax all foreigners, and proposed instead that foreigners in France be obliged to declare French domicile in order to insure themselvos indemnity, and for the purpose of sub jecting them to the same taxes as are im posed upon Frenchmen exempt from military service. M. Flourens expressed his opinion that the new proposal did not appear to be contrary to the existing commercial treaties, and would work na particular bard ship. A GRAND SHOWING.

Tho building of cotton mills is again attracting great attention, and in nearly all the Southern States new mills are under construction. In South Carolina several vory large mills aro being built by old-established companies, and others aro enlarging their capacity by new machinery, while plans have been consummated "for a $500,000 mill at Green ville and several others at different points. It is noticeable that cotton manufacturing is attracting much attention in Texas, where but little in that lino has hereto foro been done, and quite a number of companies, with capital ranging from 1 100.000 to ?5')0,00 1, are preparing to erect mills in that State.

REVERSING THINGS. The Secretary of the Interior Seta Aside a Cnlfonn Fraotlee or the Department If Those Interested Don't Like It They Can Try the Supreme Court. Washixotox, June 29. Secretary Lamar : csterday, in an exceedingly long and exhaustive decision, declined to certify to tho Treasury Department for payment the account of the State of Kansas for five per cent, of th 5 proceeds of the sale of certain Indian lands. ' The amount involved is $113. 7W). In arriving at this conclusion, the secretary review the legislation on the subject, from the time Alabama was admitted into the Union in 18:9, to the present time. After citing numerous decisions by Commissioners of the General Land Office and Secretaries of the Interior in support of the position taken by Kansas in support of her claim, and after stating that similar claims have been allowed Kansas by the Interior Department derived from the same source, he says he must decline to allow it, as, in his judgment, tho act admitting Kansas as a Stale does not warrant tho construction put upon it. In support of his position. Secretary Lamar cites two derisions of the Supreme Court, one in regard to the State of Illinois and the other affecting the State of Iowa. Both rases, he claims, were analagous to the present one, and sustain him fully. In the opinion of the court it said : 'W hen each of these acts speaks of lands "sold by Congress,' 'five per cent, of the proceeds' of which shall be reserved, and be 'disbursed' or "appropriated for the benefit of the State in which tho land lies, it evidently has in view sales in the ordinary sense, from which the United States receives proceeds in the shape of money payable into the treasury, out of which the Ave per cent, may be reserved and paid to the State; and docs not intend to include lands promised anil granted by the United States as a reward for military service for which nothing is received into the treasury. The question depends upon the terms in which the compact between the United States and each State is represented, and not upon any supposed equity, extending those terms to cases not fairly embraced within their meaning." Secretary Lamar concludes as follows: "In arriving at the conclusion before stated, I am relieved to. know that, if the agents of the State of Kansas are not satisfied of its correctness, they can follow the example of the agents of the States of Iowa and Illinois in the ten per cent cases and apply for a mandamus. By this means the questions involved will, by an almost summary method, be brought before the Suprem? Court of tho United States, the highest tribunal in the land, and to whose decree all will bow with cheerful acquiesence. Bat until such authoritative construction of the law In their favor, I must decline to approve of this claim as advised." This action of Secretary Lamar reverses the noiform practice of the Interior Department prevalent since its formation. The decision is far-reaching in its character, and will affect nearly all the other Western 8tates. Narrow EUcapes from Death. Nbw York, June S3. An alarming fire broke out this morning in Tobias & Son's felt mill, on Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, near the East river. Owing to the inflammable nature of the material used, the flames spread so rapidly that the workers in the factory, many of whom were women, had barely time to escape with their lives. Some of them let themselves down on pulley ropes, and others jumped from windows. But for tne large number of exits great loss of life must surely have occurred. The fire damaged the stock and building to the extent of from 110,000 to 116,000 before the flames could be controled. PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAL.
